Pattern for Local Unique Identifiers

Local identifiers in Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^\d+$

Example Local Unique Identifier

6017782   Resolve

Pattern for CURIES

Compact URIs (CURIEs) constructed from Mouse Genome Informatics should match this regular expression:
^mgi:\d+$

Example CURIE

mgi:6017782

MIRIAM Namespace Embedded in LUI

The legacy MIRIAM standard for generating CURIEs with this resource includes the namespaceEmbeddedInLUI as true. The actual part that gets prefixed before the local unique identifier regex, otherwise known as the banana, is MGI:. Therefore, you might see local unique identifiers written out as CURIEs.

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 12 mappings to external registries for mgi with 6 unique external prefixes.

Providers are various services that resolve CURIEs to URLs. The example CURIE mgi:6017782 is used to demonstrate the provides available for mgi. Generation of OLS and BioPortal URLs requires additional programmatic logic beyond string formatting.
